Millie Jackson gives her point of view on this years trip to Cornwall.

I could not think of a better way to round off a year of hard work and commitment than our annual trip to Cornwall. The beaches, the swimming pool, the games, the people and not forgetting the pasties all added together to make a wonderful week.

Everyone got the chance to get to know each other better whilst being given the freedom to enjoy the beautiful scenery that Cornwall has to offer. We explored the sights and excellent beaches, adventured through the rocks and swam in the sea. The beaming, glorious sunshine combined with the enjoyable, unique sound of the band entertained many. The gigs we do also support and raise money for the lifeboats that keeps the local town where we stay a happy and safe place to be.

So many friendships and memories were made in that fun filled week that we will all treasure forever.

Roll on 2015!!

On a scorching hot day The Barnsley Youth Jazz Orchestra provided a carnival atmosphere at Ecclesfield gala in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. The gala was well attended with lots of stalls, fairground rides and food which was enjoyed by all the Jazz Orch.

Our very own Jamie Shaw received his new Jazz Orch top from Andy Cawood as he gave a helping hand to the trombone section.
